24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
After a brief stint over fences he got back on track in beating 14 rivals over 3m at Windsor (soft) under a positive ride; however, there was a further reminder of his inconsistency when he dropped away tamely at Haydock in February; what does heighten interest is a pretty good record when fresh. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Back to form with a bang returned to hurdles when fending off Doughmore Bay in a valuable 3m handicap at Windsor (soft) 27 days ago; allowed to bowl along at the head of affairs in that contest and there's possible competition for the lead from the likes of Red Dirt Road, Stone's Throw and Stay Away Fay here; still no surprise were he to progress again, though. |

11st 4lb |
Completed this season's hat-trick over shorter trips, in lower grades and on softer surfaces; won over a similar trip to this over hurdles but on soft ground that seems to suit him ideally; a good-ground renewal of the Grand Annual proved far too tough last month. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
3-4 over fences, the wins coming over 2m1f/2m on heavy/good to soft; clearly knows how to get the job done and he's on an upward curve, but he's 5lb higher than for a narrow win in a small field at Warwick last time and today is a much tougher test of his credentials. |

Bang-in-form 7yo who ended 2025 with convincing wins at Bangor (2m1f, heavy) and Chepstow (2m, good to soft); shooting up the weights but won't mind what the weather does here and commands respect in current mood. |

Disappointed in her next three starts after a promising hurdles debut but, having been off for 284 days, she got off the mark in a maiden here (2m, good to soft) last month despite racing too freely and not jumping fluently; still unexposed, but will need to settle better back up in trip. |

Made it 14th-time lucky under rules with a powerful front-running display at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January, winning by 12l; rider's 10lb claim useful in view of his 11lb higher mark, but whether things will work out so favourably this time remains to be seen. |

12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was returning from a long absence when second on his handicap debut at Hereford a few months ago; has since been taken out on account of soft ground, so the better spell of weather won't have hurt; considered off the same mark. |

Unexposed 5yo who displayed clear promise in three 2m novice hurdles last season (good to soft/soft), notably here in December behind a smart one; that was on soft ground and yet he's bypassed two recent handicaps on account of the ground being too slow; his form claims are up there at this level. |

Free-going gelding who showed some promise when second on his hurdling debut at Hereford (2m3f, good) last November but has been well below that level in two subsequent starts; initial mark looks workable and it would be no surprise to see him improve now entering handicaps. |

Generally solid for this yard, winning his latest two races on officially good ground, at 2m5f and 2m3f, just prevailing over a well-treated one here latterly; up in trip but the first win was on Carlisle's stiff track so he could stay this far; considered. |

Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

Set to finish second before falling in closing stages of Chepstow bumper in February 2023 and made fairly encouraging hurdles debut in November; suffered heavy defeat the following month and was sold out of Evan Williams' stable for 3,000gns in February but is worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut. |
